  3. RP Photonics Encyclopedia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RP_Photonics_Encyclopedia

    The RP Photonics Encyclopedia (formerly Encyclopedia of Laser Physics and Technology) is an encyclopedia of optics and optoelectronics, laser technology, optical fibers, nonlinear optics, optical communications, imaging science, optical metrology, spectroscopy and ultrashort pulse physics. [1] It is available online as a free resource.

  4. Electro-optic modulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-optic_modulator

    The plasma dispersion effect can be based on carrier injection, depletion, or accumulation. The most established Pockels type modulators are based on the lithium niobate on silicon platform. In recent years, other platforms were introduced, such as BTO on silicon, silicon polymer hybrid, silicon organic hybrids, plasmonics and thin-film lithium ...

  5. Dispersion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics)

    Dispersion is the phenomenon in which the phase velocity of a wave depends on its frequency. [1] Sometimes the term chromatic dispersion is used to refer to optics specifically, as opposed to wave propagation in general. A medium having this common property may be termed a dispersive medium.

  6. Group-velocity dispersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group-velocity_dispersion

    In optics, group-velocity dispersion (GVD) is a characteristic of a dispersive medium, used most often to determine how the medium affects the duration of an optical pulse traveling through it. Formally, GVD is defined as the derivative of the inverse of group velocity of light in a material with respect to angular frequency , [ 1 ] [ 2 ]

  7. Gaussian beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_beam

    The Gaussian function has a 1/e 2 diameter (2w as used in the text) about 1.7 times the FWHM.. At a position z along the beam (measured from the focus), the spot size parameter w is given by a hyperbolic relation: [1] = + (), where [1] = is called the Rayleigh range as further discussed below, and is the refractive index of the medium.

  8. Chirped pulse amplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirped_pulse_amplification

    The introduced dispersion by such a compressor is often described in dispersion orders: the group delay dispersion (GGD), third order of dispersion (TOD) etc. Figure 2 shows the dispersion orders for a grating compressor with a groove density of = /, an incidence angle of =, and a normal grating separation of =, as described in the original ...

  9. Modulational instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulational_instability

    This dispersion relation is vitally dependent on the sign of the term within the square root, as if positive, the wavenumber will be real, corresponding to mere oscillations around the unperturbed solution, whilst if negative, the wavenumber will become imaginary, corresponding to exponential growth and thus instability. Therefore, instability ...
